Internet0

Internet0 is an initiative at MIT, very like the Networked Objects class at ITP, but executed on a lower level of abstraction (i.e. all the engineeering is done from scratch, rather than using commercially available embedded net solutions).

Network visualizations

A few nifty network visualizations came up recently on the ITP alumni list:

Internet Traffic Report, reports traffic loads on servers around the world.

Touchgraph has some intersting visualizations of google links, liveJournal, and others.
